Hey all, the name is Crystalmarie and I'm from southern RI. I found this forum through another member on here (Parkerman) and have found QUITE a bit of information just browsing today!! I obtained my first DSLR, Nikon D40, last Christmas and though I am getting better I still have alot to learn. There are some amazing photographers on here, I aspire to be as good as some of you are. I've mostly shot cars (mine more particularly) but would love to get into nature shots as well. I'll post some pictures in the beginners section to see what the veterans think. :thumbup:
